#3 was my preferred choice, and I was planning to use something pseudo-random, if I went that route. (I tend to prefer pseudo random myself)
One question. Is there any functional purpose to having memorable creator IDs? (What am I missing?) The end user doesn't really look at these do they?
Thanks,
Brian

In my not-so-humble opinion, 1, 3 and 4 are all good solutions. While
the namespace of creator IDs is larger than any plausible number of
Palm applications ever, the number of memorable/pronounceable ID is
much smaller, so I'd rather IDs weren't registered for applications
that will never be published. If you go with #3, perhaps the best
option, your fellow developers will appreciate it if you pick something
forgettable.
For my throwaway apps that no one else will ever see, I use a random
unpronounceable combination of punctuation marks, such as '@#$%'.
